err... i dun have any hardcopy instructions :-
I will just go step by step, how i do it :-

1. I bought 3 red LED lights (Glued together with a waterproof kind of Silicon Glue, Wrap it further to prevent water sipping in) ** This is very important, if not, once water gets in, the LED will be gone (Short Circuit)
2. Uses some tape & glue to secure just above the V crest (notice exactly above the V crest, there's a hole, just nice to secure the LED lights there)
3. Then connect the wire to the headlights (so, when u on your side or headlights, the LED will lights up) - look at the manual how to connect to the headlights, if not many pple will think that they need to remove the front bumper.

Hope this helps. Cheers

Probably around the level of the height, hmm....not much of the problems with the humps (except a few extremely high humps). Again try going thru it with zig zag way ...sometimes still hits
BUt the under bracer keep getting hit ....
